Dump Fires Tie Up Terre Haute Fire Crews All Night
Terre Haute firefighters spent long nights guarding dump sites to prevent smoldering fires from reigniting. Crews from Pump Companies Seven and Four kept vigil from 6 p.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday, with another all night watch planned after a Saturday call. Authorities warn setting dumps ablaze is illegal and dangerous to nearby homes along First Street and west end areas. The danger of unseen deep underground fires and recurring dumps near multiple grounds worries fire officials about potential losses. The property owner accused of starting one blaze denied it, suggesting vandalism.
